On Windows I've been using Paint.NET for years now. It's absolutely brilliant. Lightweight editing with quite a bit of extra features like properly working undo. Free, lots of updates, good UX. I use it at least few times a week.

Recently I've been on OS X a lot, and I wasn't able to find a suitable replacement. Like, nothing even remotely close. Quite a shame. Same story for Linux.

I've also switched to Paint.NET.

One thing that convinced me to switch was when MS Paint switched to the ribbon interface.

There is a Paint.NET remake on Linux called Pinta. Not quite as stable (it struggles with large images), but it has the exact same interface.

I've tried that, it was maybe 3~5 years ago, and it was quite bad in comparison. Not sure if there was a significant progress since.

Sadly, I find it struggles with small and medium images as well. But with some tlc, it could become the paint.net we are all hoping for...

I used to use GIMP, but could never figure out how to use it. Downloaded Paint.NET, it worked _exactly_ as expected. I was able to get running and perform the edits I needed to perform in seconds.

I've never had such a positive introduction to a piece of Software, it works _so well_!

On Mac, I personally like Pixelmator for pixel level editing. It feels a bit like the old versions of Photoshop which always did the job for me. At thirty bucks, it's also pretty affordable.

On OS X I really liked using Acorn a few years back.
